The 12 Best Places In New Mexico For An Epic Wedding Proposal

Valentine’s Day is approaching and perhaps you’re thinking about taking the next step in your relationship. A wedding proposal is the most important question you’ll ever ask in your life, so it needs to be a perfect, romantic story that you can retell for years to come. And the setting plays an important part. Here are 12 memorable places in New Mexico to propose.

If you'd rather not head out into the wilderness, you can still propose in nature, at stunning spots like the Japanese garden at the Albuquerque Biopark or one of New Mexico’s numerous sculpture gardens.

Use a scenic drive as a metaphor for your joint journey through life. The Enchanted Circle and the Sunspot Scenic Byway are both good options. The latter ends at the national solar observatory, which has incredible views.
